jdh Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Fished from 7:30 to 10:30 pm, starting about 3 miles south of Port Sheldon. Went south -close to Holland then turned around and came back. Stuck to 125-150 fow. 1.7 - 2 mph trolling speed at the ball down 75 feet. Never sped up because we were getting bites and fighting fish. Started with an upper teens king on a meat rig, then a lake trout on a 400 copper, then a 20's king on a plug, then a 10lb coho on the other 400 copper. Finally lost another sliver fish on a meat rig. Felt like a 10'lb ish fish - coho or king? First bite was about 8:15, last bite was about 9:30. Lots of activity on the graph approaching dark - but for some reason I haven't been able to get fish to bite after dark. Good bait balls around. Cooler water was down about 75-80 feet. Remember - fish are biting out of temp this year too! 1 King - Mag Diver on 1 back 151 feet - 8-inch Green Jeans paddle w/ UV meat rig 1 Lake Trout - 400 copper - Mag Moonshine Dancing Anchovy 1 King - 200 copper - White wooden carved plug (Best Lure Co.) 1 Coho - 400 copper - Moonshine Halfmoon Blue Shorts 0-1 Silver Fish - Mag Diver on 1 back 151 feet - 8-inch Green Jeans paddle w/ UV meat rig Good night on the water! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdh Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 The bigger king and plug that it came on. Fish looks smaller in this picture that it was! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zgrinder on Fin Warrior Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Happy you found some big fish action. With several of your hits coming on long lines in a little over an hour, it must have felt like non-stop action. Great stuff! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
